Why shouldn’t I accept the first settlement offer from the insurance company?

Insurance companies maximize their profits by paying out as little in claims as possible. As a result, the first settlement offer from the insurance company usually represents the minimum amount of money they think they can get away with paying you (sometimes called “go away” money). The first offer rarely represents the maximum amount of compensation the insurance company is ultimately willing to pay for fair or full compensation of your injuries and damages.

How much is my personal injury case worth?

The amount of compensation you may be entitled to in your personal injury claim will be largely dependent on the severity of your injuries. The more serious your injuries, the most extensive (and expensive) your medical treatment will be; also, it will be far more likely that you will have to miss time from work or be disabled from returning to your pre-injury level of work. In addition, if you suffer disabling or debilitating injuries, you are more likely to be entitled to compensation for non-economic damages like pain and suffering or lost quality of life.
